A short time since man was taken to
one Of the hospitals suffering intense pain.
He informed the doctors that his home
was down in the country, and that if he
should die he wished to be sent there.
The physicians asked him what he sup
posed caused the pain. "Why, / swal-
lowed my plate and four false teeth while
asleep the other night" was the answer.
The patient was put upon liquid food and
all the examinations made by the medicos
failed to locate the swallowed article.
The mans sufferings were lessened CON-
siderably and as test it was decided to
give him little piece OF beefsteak. This
was done and the poor patient was writh-
ing in agony as soon as be had swallowed

There Any E0ana1Daser.
The New York papers lately publishes
. very pathetic story shout very pop
| ular emotional actress. Il was 70 til
effect that she had become confrmei
victim of the opium habit, involving q
almost total loss of physical and menta
powers, and actual destitution.
The story was 1t once denied by hel
friends, who say she has suffered simply
from nervous prostration, 10 in no need
of pecuniary aid, and is On the way to
speedy recovery.
Opium victims are usually hopeless,
helpless slaves, mind weakened, lacking
energy for any effort toward recovery,
rapidly drifting into imbecility aud un.
timely graves.
A peculiar feature 10 that victims craft
lily conceal it from their nearest friends.
A young lady at school near Philadel.
phia was recently found to be secretly ID.
dicted to it, keeping her g medicine y in
q school-room inkstand, and injecting the
fuidi nto her arm with . stylogpphic

In the Chicago Farm Field aud &ock-
man, September "a, 1887, is this letter

quest to know what it was used to break
up the morphine habit, until got let
ter from gentlemen asking information.
1should have answered sooner. 1t was
Warmers safe cure. should have given
it when l wrote the letter, but it looked
too much like an advertisement"
This voluntary statement goes to con-
firm the claim made by the proprietors of
Warmers safe cure, that it is the only
remedy in the world which has any de-
cided power over diseases of the kidneys
and liver, and that this terrible habit
cannot be cured until these organs have
first been restored to full health because
they are the ones chiefly affected by the
drug.
Editor VIM A. Bode, of Alton, ILL.,, was
completely cured Of the Opium habit, ac-
quired by long use in q painful malady,
with Warmers safe cure. 1t cannot be
cured at all if the kidneys and liver are
diseased.
1t is not claimed that there is anything
in Warmers safe cure alone which will
do.away with the habit, except that it
puts the kidneys aud liver in q healthy
condition, giving the whole system that
strength and tone without which any
attempt to throw off the habit, would be
vain.
1t is because physicians have discov-
cred that no other remedy IS so beneficial
in restoring health to the liver, kidneys
and general system as the one stated that
it has come into general use in connsc-
tions with the special remedies for the
cure of the dreadful opium habit.
One of the worst features Of the opium
habit is the dealening of mental and
moral sensibilities in proportion Is it
weakens the physical system and the will
power.

WHAT BBECA ME OF HIS MILL.
E1NS.

One of the most remarkable historical
incidents ofthis country was the disap-
pearance of the enormous fortune of the
first Napoleon. In 1910 ne was far and
away the richest individual in the world
He came out of the Italian campaign,
ending in 1900, with 100000, accord
tained, was his private property. TAX
ing the statement of his friends and
others at St. Helena, he must have had
hidden away, when he LETT France the
last time, the enormous sum of 100000
900, equal to 2O0,00O,0OO francs! This
makes him very much the wealthiest
man in the world, for that sum then
was equal in influence to 5000, ,OOO, 900
now. No sovereign of his time could
begin to approach him in personal for
tune. Marshal Soult, the last of the
imperial marshals (who died in Novem-
Der, 1851, just about a year before his
great antagonist, the Duke of Yelling
tony told venerable French general
officer, who repeated it to the writer,
that when the Emperor went to Elba he
had 60, 100000 francs covered up in Paris
alone.
Of the $l2, ,ooO,o0 hard cash paid over
at one time by the United States to Ma
poleen as first consul, it was common
rumor-not very general, you may be
sure, however-that 100000 francs of
the sum was never accounted for in
vouchers. Napoleon was then first con-
sui for life. He could do just what he
choose, and nobody dared to call him to
account.
1t is not very difficult to hide money in
large sums, too, so it cannot be found,
be the search ever so careful. Ferdinand
Ward has some millions thus covered up
and no human being has ever yet found,
a clue to the stolen treasure. 1t was
said, and believed by many people, too,
that Stephen Girard. of Philadelphia,
had a large sum in his hands belonging
to Napoleon ], which he would have
handed over to him had he succeeded
in getting away to the Uuited States
after Waterloo, as he tried to do. Louis
XVIII, through his minister of finance,
did all in his power to discover this hid
den treasure, but those who knew would
never tell. They probably took it to
themselves when the Emperor died in
1921. But it is q very interesting and
romantic story, the disappearance abso-
lutely of the greatest fortune in the
worlds history up to this time, leaving
not trace behind Washington Herald.
